Doubling-click around maqaf doesn't behave as expected #17

Open r12a opened 3 years ago

Hebrew text is generally similar to Latin text in regard to what is selected when the user double-clicks on some text. The only issue to note is selecting and moving through text that includes the character maqaf, the Hebrew hyphen. It should behave like a hyphen.

It appears to be implemented correctly in Chrome and Firefox with regards to double clicking, moving through words using Ctrl-Arrow while editing text in a textarea, and long-pressing on mobile devices, but on some other platforms it may behave incorrectly, given that it's not a global punctuation character like the Latin hyphen.
